First up in wildlife news today, a Los Angeles suburb had an unwanted guest prowling the area over the weekend; followed by a quartet of stories from Colorado on coyotes: a reminder of the coyote presence and how to deal with it; a New York Times article details how residents of a Denver neighborhood have engaged the services of a coyote trapper; another pet has apparently fallen prey to coyotes in Grand Lake; and a Colorado native decries the human reaction to coyote incursions in his area. Pinellas County, Florida, is also reporting some problems with coyotes. Two articles from Australia follow: with over 900 kilometers of waterways bordered by bushfire damaged vegetation, the danger from bushfire sediment contaminating water could have a major impact on both wildlife and people downstream; and a little girl who was swimming to help a friend in trouble was apparently killed by a crocodile near Darwin. As a cougar aficionado addresses Michigan residents about cougars, a debate rages among authorities on the subject; and a San Mateo County, California, neighborhood is on edge after a cougar was seen in a nearby wooded area. Western Montana is discussing how best to control their cougar population; while residents of a North Dakota town may have a repeat visitor of the four-legged variety, one who appeared last year as well. A resident of Michigan waxes euphoric about the stirrings of wildlife as spring nears in that state in the next article. And finally, a bandit was caught red-handed (footed?) in an Indiana bar after a break-in.
